    Sexual reproduction leads to formation of new progeny with appearance of variations by Genetic recombination, of two different organisms interaction etc. During sexual reproduction provides vigour and vitality to the offsprings. They better adapt themselves to changing environmental conditions and also plays an important role in evolution.

    Correct Option: B

    Cleistogamy favours no dependence on pollinator because flowers never open. In such flowers, the anthers and stigma lie close to each other. When anthers dehisce in flower buds pollen grains come in contact with the stigma to effect pollination.

    Filiform apparatus helps in the entry of pollen tube into a synergid in ovule. Filiform apparatus is in form of finger like projection comprising a core of micro fibrils enclosed in a sheath. It resembles transfer cells meant for short distance movement of metabolites. It is responsible for the absorption of food from the nucleus.
